Cruising in Catamarans Review

This book is an excellent, highly independent criticism of the pros and cons of various sailboat designs, with a strong and logical argument for cruising catamarans.
Mr. Kanter makes some keen observations, not only about catamarans, trimarans, and monohulls, but also about the people who buy, sell, design, and build them. From the viewpoint of someone relatively little experience with catamarans, but extensive experience in monohulls, these observations have a ring of truth to them. They cut right through the marketing B.S. to the reality of cruising. In addition, he has a sense of humor and enjoyment about those unique cruising experiences that all sailors can appreciate.
The book is best for intermediate or advanced sailors.

Florida Keys and Everglades Cruising Guide Review

The guide has a lot of useful information, but it is organized in a manner that I found difficult to use, particularly for planning purposes. It would have been useful to have some regional maps to better orient the reader.

Sailing Through Paradise: The Illustrated Adventures of a Single-handed Sailor Review

If you've read Tristan Jones, Harry Pigeon, Joshua Slocum or Frank Mulville, you may be disappointed in this one. Harris' account has plenty of factual detail that would be useful as a cross-check to other Caribbean cruising guides, such as the Van Sant he mentions. Unfortunately, I got the feeling he was more interested in getting the voyage over than savoring the experieces and people he meets.
The sailing purist will wince at the author's persistant reliance on power in anything less favorable than a beam reach. Also, I was surprised that he would knowingly attempt a Gulf Stream crossing with an inadequate reefing system and a defective auto pilot. This is not a book for cruising beginners (like myself) looking for pointers on seamanship.
I found the book stylistically monotonous with its persistant use of present tense, active voice and picture captions that are direct quotes from the text. A good, frank editor could have made this account more enjoyable.

Multihull Seamanship Review

This book contains is a wealth of knowledge and skills that are often specific to multihulls. It covers cruising and racing multi's as well as trailerable's. On more than one occasion we have used it at sea to help us out of a tight spot. The illustrations are great - easy to follow and with a touch of humour. I think there should be a copy on every multihull.

The Case for the Cruising Trimaran Review

When I first started reading books with an eye to acquiring a boat, I made the mistake of reading this one and cound never be satisfied with a mono-hull again. In addition to answereing the host of tradition-oriented, unfounded arguments against multi-hulls, this book leads you through a design of a cruising (fairly large) trimaran, pointing out many details that can only come from lots of experience. The cartoons help too. While the book is now quite old, it seems that the wisdom is still quite relevant to anyone thinking of live-aboard cruising.
